Strategies and game play:
This card really affects how fast set up is and Coming back from no energy in your hand. One cool strategy against pokemon with a +30 weakness to water is to use water splash until the pokemon has 40 or less hp then bring up Cresselia Lv.X to get an extra prize card.
Combos with other cards:
Try Blissey from Mysterious Treasures. Lapras gets energy with it's attack which helps power up Blissey's attack. Also use Cresselia Lv.X as said in strategies.
Ways to counteract it:
Add lightning cards that evolve or cards that do 80 damage. Just make sure that it dosen't take to long to power them up or Lapras will retreat and you will face a real threat!
